Meet the Composer

Music is one of the mysterious gifts that define our humanity. It allows us to communicate when words are insufficient. The goal of great music is to deepen the mystery, to awaken us to what is true, good, and beautiful.   

Gary Yoder is an emerging choral and instrumental composer. His work is eclectic, drawing from influences as diverse as ancient (and modern) liturgical and chant traditions, contemporary classical and film music, Impressionism, and Romanticism.
